RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 and is entitled to the filing date of CN patent application serial number CN 2015-10076903.2, filed on Feb. 13, 2015. The contents of the aforementioned application are incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND

The subject of this patent application relates generally to textiles, and more particularly to a polyester acetate tear-away printed label and associated methods of manufacturing.

Applicant(s) hereby incorporate herein by reference any and all patents and published patent applications cited or referred to in this application.

By way of background, a printed label is a label printed on a blank tape, and then is separately cut into a single piece for use. Compared with the traditional jacquard weaving manner, the production efficiency of printed labels is typically high and the cost is low. Although the printed label has high production efficiency and is accepted by most manufacturers, its technical requirements are very strict. If the production technology is not perfect, logo colors may fade, label edges may become frayed and damaged more easily, and excessive formaldehyde concentrations may remain in labels with extreme PH value or even contain substances that are harmful to human bodies.

Aspects of the present invention fulfill these needs and provide further related advantages as described in the following summary.

SUMMARY

Aspects of the present invention teach certain benefits in construction and use which give rise to the exemplary advantages described below.

The present invention solves the problems described above by providing a polyester acetate tear-away printed label, and associated methods of manufacturing, wherein polyester acetate filament yarns are used to produce the base cloth, so that the printed label is more environmentally friendly and the strength thereof is increased appropriately. In at least one embodiment, one such method of manufacture involves weaving a base cloth using polyester acetate filament yarns, sizing and oiling the base cloth, desizing and refining the base cloth using a jet grouting overflow machine having a low desizing bath ratio, performing an alkali peel on the base cloth, shaping and drying the base cloth, further shaping the base cloth, coating the base cloth, and slitting the base cloth into desired dimensions.

Other features and advantages of aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following more detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which illustrate, by way of example, the principles of aspects of the invention.

The accompanying drawings illustrate aspects of the present invention. In such drawings:

FIG. 1 is a flow diagram illustrating an exemplary method of manufacturing a polyester acetate tear-away printed label, in accordance with at least one embodiment.

The above described drawing FIGURES illustrate aspects of the invention in at least one of its exemplary embodiments, which are further defined in detail in the following description. Features, elements, and aspects of the invention that are referenced by the same numerals in different FIGURES represent the same, equivalent, or similar features, elements, or aspects, in accordance with one or more embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In at least one embodiment, the present invention is a polyester acetate tear-away printed label, wherein the base cloth is produced from polyester acetate filament yarns having a gram weight of approximately 98-150 g, a pH value of 6-10, and a thickness of approximately 0.11-0.19 mm. In at least one embodiment, the warp yarn of the polyester acetate filament yarn is 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 750-950 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn thereof is 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 280-380 pieces per 10 cm. In at least one further embodiment, the warp yarn may range from 75D/36F to 75D/24F having a warp density of approximately 580-920 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn may range from 100D/72F to 140D/96F having a weft density of approximately 240-380 pieces per 10 cm. It should be noted that, in at least one embodiment, the tear-away printed labels described herein may be single-sided satin labels, double-sided satin labels, or double-sided pearl labels. Thus, the methods of manufacturing described herein should not be read as being limited one particular type of tear-away printed label even if certain types are expressly mentioned for illustrative purposes.

In at least one embodiment, the serial number of the single-sided satin tear-away printed label is ATS7511, wherein the warp yarn of the weave yarn is 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 780 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn is 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 280-320 per 10 cm. In at least one embodiment, the serial number of the double-sided satin tear-away printed label is ATS7533S, with the raw materials selection thereof being the same as the single-sided satin tear-away printed label, but the weaving process is completely different; the warp yarn being 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 948 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn being 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 378 pieces per 10 cm. In at least one embodiment, through common tensile breaking detection, the warp-wise breaking force of the tear-away printed label with single-sided satin is approximately 0.392N and the weft-wise breaking force thereof is approximately 1.764N. In at least one embodiment, the warp-wise breaking force of the tear-away printed label with double-sided satin is approximately 0.98N, and the weft-wise breaking force thereof is approximately 0.49N.

In at least one embodiment, the present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a polyester acetate tear-away printed label. In at least one such embodiment, as illustrated in the flow diagram of FIG. 1, the base cloth is first woven using polyester acetate filament yarns as raw materials (102), designing satin weave as the weaving structure using an air jet loom to weave the greige material, and then performing proper texturing to enable polyester fibers to react to light in a diffused manner. Use of an air jet loom assists in preventing the polyester acetate filament yarns from being exposed to a humid environment for a prolonged period which would affect the effect of the acetate. Additionally, in at least one embodiment, while the yarn is made of glazed acetate filament yarn, the warp yarn is 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 780 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn is 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 280-320 pieces per 10 cm. In at least one further embodiment, the warp yarn is 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 948 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn is 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 378 pieces per 10 cm.

In at least one embodiment, the base cloth is then sized and oiled (104). In at least one embodiment, during the weaving process described above, the warp yarn is sized and oiled in advance in order to better ensure the weaving continuity, reduce the chances of acetate filament breakage, and increase the smoothness of the surface of the warp yarn on the air jet loom.

In at least one embodiment, using a jet grouting overflow machine having a low bath ratio, the base cloth is desized and refined (106). In at least one such embodiment, a desizing bath of the jet grouting overflow machine has a pH value of 4-10 and contains approximately 2-4 g/L of a refining agent and approximately 2-6 g/L of sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Accordingly, in at least one embodiment, the bath ratio is 1:9-16. Additionally, in at least one embodiment, the desizing bath has a temperature of approximately 80-90 degrees Celsius, and the fabric is desized and refined for a duration of approximately 10-60 minutes per meter. In at least one embodiment, the sizing agent is a domestic, environmentally friendly sizing agent that does not cause any environmental pollution. In at least one further embodiment, the desizing bath has a pH value of 7.5 and contains 3 g/L of refining agent and 2.5 g/L of NaOH, with the bath ratio being 1:12, a temperature of 85 degrees Celsius, and the fabric is desized and refined for a duration of 22 minutes per meter. In at least one still further embodiment, the desizing bath has a pH value of 7 and contains 3.5 g/L of refining agent and 3 g/L of NaOH, with the bath ratio being 1:14, a temperature of 88 degrees Celsius, and the fabric is desized and refined for a duration of 20 minutes per meter.

In at least one embodiment, after the base cloth is desized and refined, an alkali peeling is performed on the base cloth (108). In at least one such embodiment, due to the polyester yarn having a relatively high degree of crystallinity, the crystalline regions and the non-crystalline regions are piled up closely, the hydrolysis reaction of the polyester is conducted unevenly in the event of alkali peeling, and the polyester gradually penetrates inward from the fiber surface and the non-crystalline regions, such that the fiber surface is subject to alkali corrosion to form a worm-eaten shape or even crack, and react to light in a diffused manner, resulting in a relatively soft glossy look. Meanwhile, the junction of the yarns absorbs more caustic soda liquid which reduces the interweaving resistance. The weave structure becomes loose and less rigid, thereby increasing the drape degree. Therefore, the alkali peeling should be selected reasonably. If the alkali peeling rate is too high, the drape degree and fabric flexibility would be increased, but the fabric strength would be reduced and result in poor quality. Alternatively, if the alkali peeling rate is too low, the fabric becomes less desirable to the touch. Thus, in at least one embodiment, the alkali peeling process preferably utilizes approximately 60-150 g/L of 3.5% NaOH having a temperature of approximately 60-100 degrees Celsius for a duration of approximately 20-60 minutes per meter. In at least one further embodiment, the alkali peeling process utilizes 120 g/L of 3.5% NaOH having a temperate of 85 degrees Celsius for a duration of 35 minutes per meter. In at least one still further embodiment, the alkali peeling process utilizes 130 g/L of 3.5% NaOH having a temperate of 88 degrees Celsius for a duration of 37 minutes per meter.

In at least one embodiment, the base cloth is then shaped and dried (110). In at least one such embodiment, the polyester fiber has high crystallinity, and the crystalline regions and non-crystalline regions thereof are arranged closely. The crystalline regions and non-crystalline regions of the polyester can be arranged orderly through shaping, which can effectively improve the uniformity of dyeing and alkali peeling, as well as enhancing the flatness and wrinkle resistance of the fabric surface. If the shaping temperature is too high, the fabric will become hard which will affect the feeling of the fabric to the touch; while if the temperature is too low, the wrinkle resistance of the fabric is weak, which also will affect the dyeing uniformity of the fabric. Thus, in at least one embodiment, the base cloth is preferably shaped and dried at a temperature of approximately 140-215 degrees Celsius for a duration of approximately 30-40 minutes per meter. In at least one further embodiment, the base cloth is shaped and dried at a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius for a duration of 35 minutes per meter. In at least one still further embodiment, the base cloth is shaped and dried at a temperature of 175 degrees Celsius for a duration of 38 minutes per meter. After drying, a finishing agent for moisture absorption and sweat releasing, followed by an anti-pilling finishing agent, are used for arrangement.

In at least one embodiment, the base cloth is shaped again (112) before coating (114) and rolled into large rolls (116) under a high temperature of approximately 160-180 degrees Celsius for a duration of approximately 30-50 minutes per meter, and this serves as a treatment before coating. In at least one further embodiment, the base cloth is shaped under a temperature of 170 degrees Celsius for a duration of 40 minutes per meter.

In at least one embodiment, during the coating treatment (114), the single-sided satin tear-away printed label uses a mixture of approximately 11.6-15.8 g/m² of a water-soluble PA hard pulp, 11.6-15.8 g/m² of a PA soft pulp, 5-7 g/m² of a white pulp, 1-2 g/m² of a cross linking agent, and 1-2.5 g/m² of a thickening agent. In at least one further embodiment, a mixture of approximately 13.61 g/m² of a water-soluble PA hard pulp, 13.67 g/m² of a PA soft pulp, 6.84 g/m² of a white pulp, 1.54 g/m² of a cross linking agent and 1.88 g/m² of a thickening agent is used. In at least one such embodiment, these raw materials are environmentally-friendly, but the production quantity must be controlled, so as to enhance the product quality, improving the visual appearance and the feel of the fabric to the touch. In at least one embodiment, the double-sided satin tear-away printed label uses the same raw materials as the single-sided satin tear-away label and ATS7533S weave yarn number, wherein the warp yarn is 75D/48F having a warp density of approximately 948 pieces per 10 cm, and the weft yarn is 120D/72F having a weft density of approximately 378 pieces per 10 cm. The double-sided pearl tear-away label uses approximately 16-23 g/m² of FS5030 solvent PC, 8-15 g/m² of an environmentally-friendly methylbenzene, and 2.5-4 g/m² of 200-crystal white pearl powder (having a No. of 81400). In at least one further embodiment, approximately 20 g/m² of FS5030 solvent PC, 11 g/m² of an environmentally-friendly methylbenzene, and 3.125 g/m² of 200-crystal white pearl powder (having a No. of 81400) is used.

In at least one embodiment, the base cloth is slit (118) in accordance with the specifications of a given customer at a temperature of approximately 170-200 degrees Celsius for a duration of 30-40 minutes per meter. In at least one further embodiment, the base cloth is slit at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius for a duration of 35 minutes per meter. In at least one still further embodiment, the base cloth is slit at a temperature of 190 degrees Celsius for a duration of 37 minutes per meter.

As a result, in at least one embodiment, the base cloth will have a better whiteness, and will have firmer edges along both sides thereof. Additionally, the printed label is more environmentally friendly and the strength thereof is increased appropriately.
